COCKPIT ENCLOSURES

When space is at a premium, try a premium product.

Tecsew have produced a wide range of well designed Cockpit Enclosures in

weatherproof designs to cope with the worst conditions you may encounter.

Discover unused space in your vessel by making use of a welcoming,

enclosed Cockpit that can additionally be decorated with Cockpit

Cushions!

The Enclosure can also be utilised as an “In Harbour Bimini”, by virtue of

rolling up both sides and the back door, whilst the corner pillars keep

the roof section tensioned back as a sun shade.

When not in use, the Enclosure folds up into the supplied stowage

valise, or can be removed from the frame by way of the zipped pockets.

The Enclosure, stowed in the valise and on the frame can be rested

against the backstays, supported on optional struts, or dismantled and

stowed below depending on the model of boat.

Introduction

We hold CAD patterns for many models, most of which have been

developed with and supplied to the original yacht importer/building

as original equipment. Please feel free to browse our extensive online

product gallery, which features a selection of our work at

www.tecsew.com.

If a bespoke product is required, the customer is welcome to become

involved in the design and detailing of the specification.

We pride ourselves on improving quality and consistency, reducing

delivery time, providing outstanding customer service and increasing

the range of products and services we provide.

Our investment in new state-of-the-art technology and machinery,

together with specifying the best materials available, allows Tecsew

to dramatically increase product quality and specification.

How is it made?

Tecsew manufacture all their Cockpit Enclosures in the highest quality

Sunbrella Plus fabric. This material is highly moisture/stain/mould and

mildew resistant with excellent abrasion resistance, and is extremely

lightweight. As the colour is locked into the yarn, it will resist UV.

Fabrics have been tested and proven to provide up to 98% UV protection

from harmful effects of the sun when used in shade applications.

Sunbrella fabrics have been awarded the ‘Seal of Recommendation’ by

the Skin Care Foundation, an international organisation dedicated to the

prevention of skin cancer. This Seal signifies that Sunbrella fabrics have

passed the Foundation’s rigorous testing criteria and offer significant

levels of protection. This protective factor is inherent to the product and

will not be reduced by usage and/or fabric exposure to the sun.

Please visit the Sunbrella page on our website for the extensive choice of

colours.

If there is existing canvas work on the boat, and you require us to colour

match, then Tecsew will endeavour to match the existing fabric/colour of

the previously supplied work, if required, utilising other ranges of fabric.

All windows are inserted using a strong top quality UV stabilised clear

PVC.

Framework

The standard Cockpit Enclosure framework is assembled using 18mm, 316

marine grade stainless steel tube, and includes adjustable terminal frame

fittings for further tensioning of the product.

The heavy duty version merits 22mm, 316 marine grade stainless steel

tube. This is supplied with solid cast/polished stainless steel, heavy duty

frame fittings; all of which are quick release. Many designs come with the

heavy duty framework as standard. We recommend the heavy duty

option, due to the substantial strength of the tube and frame fittings.

Design

Tecsew has continued to invest in new technology to enhance the quality

of the products we manufacture and supply.

CAD is fully utilised in the design and production of canopy frameworks

and the Sprayhood canvas and technology is used at every stage where we

can see an added benefit.
